How do I stop religious solicitors from knocking on my door?

Answer 1

Here's sircornman's foolproof way to ward off those pesky jehovah's witnesses.

When you see them coming, cover yourself with fake blood screaming "Oh the humanity" (loud enough so they can hear you) while listening to loud demonic laughs on your stereo system. Then, when they knock, turn off the stereo and rush to the door, covered in blood and answer. Act really cool (as if you weren't covered in fake blood) and interested on what they have to say. They should be slightly freaked out at this time but will still try to spread the word with you. Then, after a little while, ask them if they regularly perform animal sacrifices, and act 100% serious. They'll say no, and at that point, tell them you aren't interested. If you pull it off right, they will be spooked, or at least will get the message, and will not come back, ever again.

Answer 2

I was plagued for a long time by very aggressive and demanding religious solicitors and being one who has a hard time some days gettig from the bed to the couch, I found it necessary to put a small strip of paper, but very legible on the door that said, "No religious solicitation or solicitors of any other origin". I have now had four years of no door knockers, I've also taken down the sign to wash the door. If necessary, I'll put it up again, but I do hope it will not be necessary. It makes me feel rude, but at the same time, my home is my private domain, and I do not appreciate the disturbance. I do not do this to others as a Christian and scriptures say that we are not to entertain those we know to be of Satan as they bring their demons into our home and if we be weak, they may choose to stay. To me it is no different than no allowing people to smoke or drink alcholic beverages in my home. No one in my family does this, so why should anyone else. It's called respecting where you are and when people come to my home, I expect them to respect the rules of conduct and behavior in my home. Especially since I have a teenaged son still at home and he has friends in and out all the time - I had to establish rules and enforce them. It makes me smile, when I hear him stop a friend at the door and say, hey man, you can't smoke in our house, matter fact take your shirt off so I can throw it in the dryer for a minute before you walk in. My son respects the fact that it is quite bothersome to me physically. Those who are truly his friends and want to be, they've got to where they leave a set of clothes in the utility room to put on just for being here - that way they can leave there's out of the corridors of my home. That's respect. I didn't demand it, I just asked. People don't have to be so rude and hardnosed about things - politeness has gotten me a whole lot further in life than anger ever did or demands.

Answer 3

The Jehovah's Witnesses are tenacious in their witnessing programs. Some other churches may have "visitation" programs, but they are usually seasonal and for only a brief time.

Going door to door and witnessing is a very difficult job. I respected that; and, I was almost ashamed that I didn't witness more for Jesus Christ.

However, if you tell them that there is a condition to you allowing them in your home, and if they agree to that condition, then they are welcome to come in and witness.

The Condition: I will listen intently, not interrupt, and be respectful for as long as they need to deliver their message IF--AND ONLY IF they listen, do not interrupt, and be respectful of the message I HAVE for the same amount of time they spent delivering their message.

They will take you off their list of places to visit. The Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses call it "shaking the dust off their feet and not throwing their pearls before swine." But that's okay. That's the end result you want, correct?

1. Find out their religion and start banging on their doors. Better yet, if you're prepared to and have time, follow them around the neighborhood after they bang on your door. If they give up and go home, follow them to their home. Or more simply, write down their license plate (if they're driving) and use it to identify them and file a lawsuit against them and their cult.

2. Defend your home. Find out the laws on self-defence and follow them to the letter. There must surely be some legal grounds for throwing water on godbots who do not leave when you ask (or if they ignore a "no religion" sign), since water is not harmful.

Whatever you do, *don't* break the law.

Answer 5

1.Answer the door naked....when they ask if they've come at a bad time say no and invite them in.

2. Put stage blood on an axe, when the fanatics come a'knocking...answer the door with the axe in hand and a psychotic look on your face.

3. Get a No Trespassing sign & when they come...call the law.

Now i will tell my tale. I the some impediment even as i changed into in college. kept getting Jehovahs knocking on the door at 10am Saturday mornings. One Saturday i changed into stepping right into a position to visit a picnic and had some friends coming to wish me up. i changed into walking overdue and dashing to be able on time. I had only gotten out of the bathe even as the doorbell rang. I pulled on my bathrobe and ran to reply the door. after I opened it there have been 2 youthful men wearing white shirts and black slacks prestige on my porch. they only stood there gazing me. They regarded me up and down, became brilliant pink, handed me their pamphlets, and left. they did not say a word. My bathrobe had fallen open to the waist and so that they could see the best deal. The pleasing fringe of the tale, they under no circumstances were given right here lower back. This changed into once many years interior the previous and in a small the city interior the Pacific Northwest. i do no longer recommend this procedure in cutting-edge fanatical surroundings.

Tell them you are Jewish.(Just Kidding) Post a sign No Solicitors.

Answer 8

A simple "No Solicitors" sign should do the trick. It will also keep away those annoying people who want to sell you vinyl siding or clean your carpets.
